Teal & Sparkle Bridal Shower Party Games & Gifts

August 27, 2014 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Celebrate, Party Games, Teal & Sparkle Bridal Shower

The beautiful bride-to-be had requested no crazy shower games, so I kept it simple with one fun game that I was sure nobody had ever played at a shower before. It didn’t take long to play, which left lots of time for mingling, eating, and opening gifts! This bride-to-be chair banner was created the same […]

Teal & Sparkle Bridal Shower Instagram Banner

August 20, 2014 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Celebrate, Crafting, Design/Create, Teal & Sparkle Bridal Shower

I wanted to make a focal point at the shower that incorporated photos of the couple. This instagram photo banner ended up being the perfect decoration that tied in all of the colors and showcased the Bride-to-be’s beautiful engagement photos. I printed all of the photos 4×6, and uploaded photos of letters as jpegs to […]

Teal & Sparkle Bridal Shower

August 18, 2014 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Celebrate, Teal & Sparkle Bridal Shower

A few weeks ago I threw a dear friend a Bridal Shower. I had sent her many theme ideas, and jokingly added ‘Sparkly Teal’, her favorite color, to the list. It shouldn’t have been a surprise when that’s the one she choose. We did a morning brunch complete with a cereal bar and mimosa bar. […]

How to throw a Sesame Street Party on a budget with invitations, food, decorations, and games

After college I spent a year working as a nanny in Fairfield County. I was amazed at the extravagant birthday parties that parents were throwing for their kids. Don’t get me wrong, I love throwing parties with decorations and lots of details, but I think you can do it without breaking the bank.  Below are […]

July 28, 2014 By Holly 1 Comment Filed Under: Celebrate, DIY Wedding, Party Decorations, Weddings

Minneapolis Real Wedding | When we were looking for a Minneapolis reception venue, I wanted a blank canvas. I had pictured a large open loft where I could transform the space, and the Day Block Event Center was exactly what we were looking for. The brick walls, exposed ceilings, and beautiful hardwood floors were a perfect starting place

Minneapolis real wedding reception food, Day Block Event Center, Mini Wedding Table Cakes, Cafe Latte Bakery

I’ve been to many weddings in my 29 years, but I couldn’t tell you what was served for dinner at most of them. Last spring I went to a good friend’s outdoor barn wedding. Among many fabulous details, the couple rented food trucks for dinner. Guests had the choice between a taco truck and a […]

Minneapolis Spring Wedding, Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Ceremony ideas

When we originally booked the Day Block for our reception site, we planned on having the ceremony there as well. In the end we decided we preferred to get married in a church, and were able to rent Pilgrim Lutheran Church for the day. It was the perfect intimate setting and I am so glad we made […]

{Wedding Details} Wedding Party

May 30, 2014 By Holly 1 Comment Filed Under: Celebrate, DIY Wedding, Weddings

Minneapolis Real Wedding | Bridesmaids wore navy dresses from Target with different color shoes, all matching their bouquets. Red, salmon, yellow, kate spade green, teal, purple, and pink.

One of the biggest ‘challenges’ of planning was my desire for color, while my husband would wanted everything to be classic (as in no polka dots). My favorite compromise was the bridal party. I choose simple navy bridesmaid dresses from Target (Target sells bridesmaid dresses now!) and let them pick their own style as long […]

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖
This is your sign to throw a COLOR PARTY🎉. ❤️💛💙💜💚🩷🖤🤍🧡
…but on pretzel day? Well, I like pretzel day 🥨
Our first neighborhood New Year’s Day parade was a success! 🥳 Thank you for the great idea #bobgoff
And it only took 82 hours to complete it. My next project is going to have fewer bricks. 🏡
